Converts source code to target Azure runtime models using documented migration patterns and MCP tools for best practices
Outputs all artifacts to a separate <source-folder>-azur
Installation Guide
How to use azure-cloud-migrate on Cursor
AI-first code editor with Composer
Prerequisites
Before installing skills in Cursor, ensure your development environment meets these requirements:
- ›Cursor installed and configured on your machine
- ›Node.js 16+ with npm — verify with
node --version - ›Active project directory where you want to add
azure-cloud-migrate
Run the install command
Execute the skills CLI command in your project's root directory to begin installation:
Fetches azure-cloud-migrate from microsoft/GitHub-Copilot-for-Azure and configures it for Cursor.
Select Cursor when prompted
The CLI shows a list of agents. Use arrow keys and space to select Cursor:
Verify installation
Confirm successful installation by checking the skill directory location:
Restart Cursor to activate azure-cloud-migrate. Access via /azure-cloud-migrate in your agent's command palette.
Security Notice
We perform automated surface-level scans (Gen AI Scanner, Socket, Snyk) during installation. These checks detect common vulnerabilities but do not guarantee complete security. Always review skill source code and verify the publisher's reputation before production use.
Skills execute code in your environment. Always review source, verify the publisher, and test in isolation before production.
Documentation
Azure Cloud Migrate
This skill handles assessment and code migration of existing cloud workloads to Azure.
Rules
- Follow phases sequentially — do not skip
- Generate assessment before any code migration
- Load the scenario reference and follow its rules
- Use
mcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpracticesandmcp_azure_mcp_documentationMCP tools - Use the latest supported runtime for the target service
- Destructive actions require
ask_user— global-rules
Migration Scenarios
| Source | Target | Reference |
|---|---|---|
| AWS Lambda | Azure Functions | lambda-to-functions.md |
No matching scenario? Use
mcp_azure_mcp_documentationandmcp_azure_mcp_get_bestpracticestools.
Output Directory
All output goes to <source-folder>-azure/ at workspace root. Never modify the source directory.
Steps
- Create
<source-folder>-azure/at workspace root - Assess — Analyze source, map services, generate report → assessment.md
- Migrate — Convert code using target programming model → code-migration.md
- Ask User — "Migration complete. Test locally or deploy to Azure?"
- Hand off to azure-prepare for infrastructure, testing, and deployment
Track progress in migration-status.md — see workflow-details.md.

Implementation Guide
Prerequisites
- ›Claude Desktop or compatible AI client with skill support
- ›Clear understanding of task or problem to solve
- ›Willingness to iterate and refine outputs
Time Estimate
15-45 minutes depending on use case complexity
Steps
- 1Install skill using provided installation command
- 2Test with simple use case relevant to your work
- 3Evaluate output quality and relevance
- 4Iterate on prompts to improve results
- 5Integrate into regular workflow if valuable
Common Pitfalls
- ⚠Expecting perfect results without iteration
- ⚠Not providing enough context in prompts
- ⚠Using skill for tasks outside its intended scope
- ⚠Accepting outputs without review and validation
Best Practices
✓ Do
- +Start with clear, specific prompts
- +Provide relevant context and constraints
- +Review and refine all outputs before using
- +Iterate to improve output quality
- +Document successful prompt patterns
✗ Don't
- −Don't use without understanding skill limitations
- −Don't skip validation of outputs
- −Don't share sensitive information in prompts
- −Don't expect skill to replace human judgment
💡 Pro Tips
- ★Be specific about desired format and style
- ★Ask for multiple options to choose from
- ★Request explanations to understand reasoning
- ★Combine AI efficiency with human expertise
When to Use This
✓ Use when
Use when skill capabilities match your task, clear ROI on time saved, and you can validate outputs. Best for repetitive tasks, learning, and quality improvement.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid when task requires deep expertise you can't validate, involves sensitive decisions, or when learning process is more valuable than speed of completion.
Learning Path
- 1Familiarize yourself with skill capabilities and limitations
- 2Start with low-risk, non-critical tasks
- 3Progress to more complex and valuable use cases
- 4Build expertise through regular use and experimentation
